Keep the chill away with this winter warmer. Spun with 100% Peruvian Highland wool, Homestead has a classic heritage wool feel & is extremely warm. The versatile, worsted weight yarn is wonderful for everything from toasty cardigans & sweaters to accessories such as hats, mittens, cowls & scarves. Studded with nubby bits of tweed, the yarn gives garments & accessories a cool alpine look. Even the simplest of stitches have tons of character. The yarn is available in a modern palette of earthy & neutral hues. Homestead wet blocks beautifully & becomes softer wear after wear.
